Hand-Turned Knitting Needles by Gary McFarland. Elegant birch shaft with exotic hardwood top—each one individually turned into a unique design. Knitting with hand-turned wooden needles is an experience you will want to repeat throughout your knitting life.  They are well balanced, warm to the touch, smooth with the perfect friction for keeping your yarn from falling off your needles while you weave.   Wooden needles are great for beginners because they offer so much more control and comfort.  Custom orders are accepted, please call 636-583-8112 or email donna@dewberryridge.com for quote
